Music, Watch – GIANT RAPPERS Retrospective
January 5th, 2014
Through the use of green screen technology, rappers could be as large and/or in charge as they wanted to be, and the results are varying. While the giant rapper phenomenon has fallen out of favor in recent times, its lasting footprint will always be impressive from an overhead slow motion pan out.
Self-Promotion
October 24th, 2005
We at Gossiping Bitches have always been critical of hip-hop, causing several readers to write us saying things like “why don’t you do it yourself, if you’re so smart?” Well, we are so smart and have indeed decided to start doing it ourselves. That’s right, we have joined the ranks of media companies with their own record labels — because it’s not enough to just report on hip-hop from an objective point of view, we have to be part of the action too! It is this very spirit of selling out that is at the heart (or lack thereof) of the first GB Records release, “Self-Promotion.”
Unfree Yayo
September 26th, 2005
Lackluster would be a kind way to describe the reception of the much hyped Tony Yayo debut, Thoughts of a Predicate Felon, newly released on Interscope. This hasn’t gone unnoticed by his crew, G-Unit, as its members have already made efforts to cut their losses. Yet advisers maintain that Yayo still offers some value to […]
Marks 50 and Game Mark Formation of R.A.P.
March 10th, 2005
A looong way from the Terrordome, NY — What Gossiping Bitches has been reporting for, like, ever has finally become officially recognized, as beefing thug rappers 50 Cent and The Game announced at a press conference Wednesday the launching of their new charity/political action committee/money laundering scheme, Rappers Are Pussies. R.A.P., the rappers said, will […]
Fake Thug Court Is in Session
May 12th, 2004
The amazing career of Tupac Shakur cannot be pigeonholed with such labels as “fake thug,” “homo thug,” or “total fucking sham.” No, Tupac rose above all those mere terms and made fake thuggery an art, and his records canonize the rules and morals of a fake thug. Who else could be such a convincing on-wax tough guy that people think of him as a “West Coast ridah” and forgot he was actually a lousy East Coast rapper who called himself MC New York?

After being inundated with phone calls from all of our illiterate Gossiping Bitches fans, we here at Music, Watch proudly present the Anger Falcon Rating System for videos. The more Anger Falcons, the hotter the video – now you don’t have to waste your time reading this column. Get your scroll on.
Music, Watch – Volume 4
January 27th, 2004
If you’re like me, you heard this chorus on the radio (“I’ll teach you how to stunt”) and envisioned an awesome “Fall Guy” tribute of a video, complete with 50 jumping off Jeeps about to careen off cliffs and the like.
Backroom Whispers
September 16th, 2003
Ask your kid sis; Ja Rule ain’t no sucka, so he don’t need a bodyguard. Shame. A coupla diesel-lookin’ cats might have stopped him getting all his ice took by some thugged-out English kids when he decided to walk from a show at Po Na Na, a club in Hammersmith, London to the nearby afterparty a little while back.
Media Rappin’: Can’t We Get Harry Allen To Take These Fools Out?
August 28th, 2003
We all know it’s stupid to be on some ol’ “mainstream rap sucks! I only like shit that sells less than 100 copies, cuz that’s the realness!” shit these days. Leave that for clueless midwestern whiteys who wouldn’t know “realness” or even “hip-hop” if it did a drive-by and mowed them all down in a hail of bullets and non-navel-gazing lyrics. The real struggle is not against mainstream rap. The real struggle is against mainstream coverage of rap.
